Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Woodford Broadway Conservation Area (WBCA), including its effect on trees
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would harm the significance of the Woodford Broadway Conservation Area through uncharacteristic boundary treatments and gates, and would unacceptably affect highway safety by introducing a second access near a traffic calming build-out, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
